Ectropion
Ectropion is a condition in which the edge of the eyelid, usually the lower one, turns outward and stops being in contact with the eye. This exposes the ocular surface and disrupts the normal distribution of tears.
Common symptoms:
- Red, irritated eye
- Tearing or, conversely, dryness
- A sensation of a foreign body
- Greater sensitivity to light and air
Common causes: It is frequently related to aging and loss of tissue tone, although it can also be due to scarring, paralysis, or abnormalities present from birth.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates the eyelid and the health of the eye, while the general practitioner can guide the first consultation. If you notice persistent irritation or changes in the position of the eyelid, it is advisable to discuss it with a vision professional.
